I think your proposition is valid. I know of a book that's also deals with the idea of magnetic revearsals and evolutionary leaps, but I have not read it myself: evolutionaryleaps.com...
I don't know much about the author though, and I'm a little bit sceptical since I read a blog of his connected to his book "Iceage now".
No one said doom and gloom, and the OP did not say doom and gloom.
Certainly not me.

You're quite right - mass extinctions are a cause for celebration

So, how can a molten, bubbling, boiling, flowing, mass of liquid iron create any type of magnet field when the electrons are scattered all over the place?
I believe the fact that the molten iron is spinning answers your first question.
What do you suggest creates Earth's magnetic field?
edit on 3/23/2012 by Chamberf=6 because: (no reason given)
It is very likely that Mars lost its atmosphere (most of it) because of its lack of a global magnetic field. But it took millions (or billions) of years for it to happen.

Measure for yourself each night. Polaris or The North Star can be easily found and oriented to a landmark for measurement. If Polaris moves drastically from one night to the next, then think about sticking your head in the ground, but until then, take the chill pill.
Finding Polaris
Or am I thinking you're thinking geographic pole shift? Would the geographic pole be altered by a magnetic pole flip?
